Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Arango.
Judged on this season alone, Arango graded 50 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 13% of the 115 centre-forwards in the USA tier 1, on 13 goals and 3 assists in 30 appearances (0.562 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 55 → 50). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 81st of 115 of the 115 centre-forwards in the USA tier 1. At 31 Arango is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 6.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Arango missed 4 games through injury (lower-body, hamstring) out of roughly 34 this season. The 30 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
13 goals in 30 appearances (0.43 per game) — double figures playing for a mid-table side (10th of 15). He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 16 goal contributions (0.53 per appearance).
With a Rating of 26, Arango carries the 81st-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the USA tier 1 of 115. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.56 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~14), then tapers with age. At 31, Arango sits on 6.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Arango's projected Rating — 26 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
